Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

5.9 at 11:00

yesterday burned 2300 calories at fitness, ate 2350 calories of which197 grams of carbs and 80 grams of protein..
didn´t eat any breakfast today but now 2.5 hours later my blood glucose is 6.5, having a guest today so lots of greek salat and beef and a dirty chocolate mousse ... a diabetic one but guess stil at lot of carbs in it anyway..

5.3 for me today.

Thanks for all the good wishes yesterday. Surgeon wasn't at all concerned about my diabetic control, had a few issues with my liver, but it's the cancer in the oesophagus that's the big deal.....

He ended with something about a "positive outcome" but I'm not looking forward to the next few months.

I'm glad that your surgeon was pleased with your diabetic control, but very sorry to hear about your diagnosis, @Tim55 - it must be really frightening for you and I'm sure the next few months will seem very daunting. Try and keep the surgeon's words in mind, though - "positive outcome"; if you can stay positive, that will certainly help (and yes, I know that's very easy for me to say). Thinking about you and sending positive vibes and big hugs.

He must know you are consistant with your bg control.
He might not be concerned but believe me uncontrolled diabetes on top of a treatment would be hell.
Well done for doing your side.
Surgeon has to now do his part.
Swing with it! Do you have a choice? Better to go with it so less stress.
I know you can do this! Keep us updated. :)
 
10.8 this morning, and I continue to get these far too high readings. That is except for last Thursday afternoon when I felt decidedly queezy for no apparent reason. This didn't improve, so I reached for my BG meter to find a reading of 3.8 and dropping (another 2 points over half an hour, despite me reaching for the chocolate). Is this hypo country? I've never been there before. If it is, it's decidedly scary - I don't want to go there again. My reaction was, of course, over reaction - after the usual 1 hour then 2 hour checks, I was back up to +9. However, I do now realise the potential of an almost zero carb intake, coupled with my new medication.

6.5 this morning which is all good :) however 2.5 hours later was up to 9.1 :( Screams! This is a little worrying as not gone that high before and only had 2 americano coffees with cream upto that point. I always test before breakfast at work so had fried egg and bacon, two hours later up at 10 :( not sure whats going on inside but peed off about this
